The Land
- Top End
A
helicopter swoops low to flush wild bulls from thick undergrowth.
Sturdy Jeeps career and lurch amidst swirls of red dust. Adrenaline
rushes as the bulls are mustered. An adventure to thrill even
the most travelled. Imagine waking in your treetop lodge to
the strange calls of brilliant and exotic birds and gazing
out over the expansive wetlands. Imagine skimming across the
water on an airboat as wild buffalo explode through carpets
of water lilies and countless birds take flight. Watch carefully
and see huge crocodiles disappear into the lagoon with the
flick of a tail.
The
Top End is subtropical and located 12 degrees south of the
equator. The area is characterised by lush green vegetation,
world heritage wetlands and an incredible variety of wildlife.
The diversity of the landscape, with its magnificent natural
attractions and close connection to Aboriginal peoples creates
an interesting and fascinating location to excite the senses
and invigorate the spirit. The climate is divided into wet
and dry seasons, rather than summer and winter.
The wet season, November to April, has frequent warm downpours,
with temperatures 25° - 33° C and the dry season, between
May and October, has temperatures of 15° - 27°C. Go to
